Interior Design Sense

Wood elements in the bathroom have recently become very popular. We saw this idea being reflected in the designs exhibited at Salone del Mobile in Milan. Sure, if used properly, wood can contribute to some original interiors. After all, this material is more alive than any others and it offers a particular warmth to a place. This towel hanger has a very “studied” finish and fits in a modern bathroom with elegant finishes. Its shape is a bit unusual, which is why we took a picture of it and posted it here. Good for hanging towels, but also bathrobes and other type of clothes. Up next we have a few posts with wooden bath tubs and showers, so stay tuned.

Bravo for the wall mount Washlet toilet by Toto. The European company brings together Italian style and Japanese bathroom culture in this unique and gorgeous Giovannoni toilet. This rimless masterpiece boasts gentle curves and a smooth, sculptural shape ideal for a spa-inspired space – it might as well be called “David.” This Washlet toilet is the epitome of luxury for the bathroom, complete with a self-cleaning washing wand, a heated seat, a deodorizer and a remote control for the ultimate in Toto’s “Clean Technology.” This modern bathroom essential also incorporates some must-haves, including: rear wash, front wash, oscillating wash, water-pressure adjustment, water-temperature adjustment and washing position adjustment. Who ever said a toilet is “just a toilet”? Check out the Giovannoni Washlet toilet at Toto.

As we already stated, Milan Furniture Fair was full of ideas that we so eagerly captured. Here is a really cool alternative for a bathroom mirror. Occupying  the same amount of space, but with a lot more functionality, this bathroom shelf can also become a towel or clothes hanger when needed. So simple and yet with a daring practicability, the hanger also features a mirror and a storage place for perfumes and other small accessories. Its white finish makes it perfect for any modern bathroom, big or small. Still, we think a smaller version would have even more success. What do you think of this design? Do you find it to be practical or a bit exaggerated ?

For many of us the bathroom can be a way to escape the daily drudgery as it is our own very private inner sanctum. No screaming kids, no nagging spouses and no evil bosses breathing down our neck.

So if you are game for some decadence and dream of an ablutional haven that is contemporary and is a stunning articulation of creativity, then check out our pick of the sexiest modern bathroom designs.

The Roca Active & Relax Bathroom is ideal for those who have space issues (don’t mean this metaphorically). Designed by Michal Mitek the design is a take on modern living since it moonlights as a bedroom too! It lacks windows but the 3 floor-to-ceiling LCD ensures you don’t become claustrophobic.

The “Peaceful Clarity Bathroom” takes a harmonious design approach and also incorporates the wisdom of feng shui. The bathroom is my idea of paradise as you also get an illusion of being in touch with nature. In case you are wondering, that big black cylinder is actually a fireplace!

The “U” bathroom is one the few bathroom designs that is targeted to mere mortals like us. Since it is all about cutting-cost without sacrificing on the aesthetics, the U-(you) bathroom sports a CNC surface finish and was molded thermally.

To enjoy stunning views while in the lap of luxury you don’t necessary have to check in a Burj Al Arab. Instead just invest in a bathroom set up like the Wavflow Bathroom. A concept by Wei Chung Lee, this bathroom emphasizes heavily on elegance.

Light by Arlexitalia is nothing short of a multi-sensory experience thanks to its stunning design and airy transparency. The entire collection boasts of pristine whites that provide respite from the usual bright tinctures.

If Light was all about openness and purity of the color white then the Total Black Bathroom Interior Inspiration from GSG Ceramic is all about moodiness and sexiness. There is a latent sexuality to the all black bathroom, which we find extremely hard to resist.

Who needs a visit to the neighborhood spa when you can rejuvenate your mind and body at the privacy of your home. It is hard not to be enamored by the harmonious surrealism of the Overflow bathtub series by KÄSCH.

All the above designs are completely committed to the bathroom culture and also highlight the interplay of nature and technology beautifully. The designers behind these concepts straddle divergent artistic trends and also stay true to the primordial properties of a functional bathroom.
